Party Presentations
It’s fun to think outside the box and add a few surprises
when you’re entertaining~
It only takes a minute to put a pair of sunglasses on a pineapple,
and tuck in a paper parasol~
and you have an eye catching centerpiece or decoration
for a summer gathering
A pretty presentation can turn food into a party!
When you have a house full, make it easy for everyone
by serving Breakfast on a Stick
It’s ready whenever they are and no dishes to wash
Instead of serving dip in a bowl
put Blue Cheese Dip in a hollowed out cabbage
or the dip for Asian Firecrackers in a pineapple bottom
and place the dippers on large cabbage leaves
Surprise guests with this crazy unique Fry-Tot-To appetizer,
corn and sausage queso is baked on a tater tot crust
and surrounded by french fries for dipping
An instant fiesta!
Fill a tiered tray with sandwich meat, cheese, bread,
fruit, pickles, cake bites or cookies
It’s a portable picnic that you can enjoy with a guest/s anywhere
Bahama Beach Bundt will bring the beach to you
with its white chocolate shells, brown sugar sand,
and blue & white waves
You can also embrace the beach theme with
It is great for gatherings
because it is made in individual dishes
making serving a breeze
Add a fun topper to cupcakes {homemade or store bought}
to make them festive without spending a lot of money
These Fishing Cupcakes are decorated with wood skewers
tied with pieces of string attached to gummy fishes
Even something simple like a paper parasol
will set a festive party mood
Turn any day into a party with a pretty presentation!

These are wonderful. I have some paper parasols at home. Might have to whip them out! And the pineapple — brilliant!

I absolutely love the cute and clever presentations;;;especially the fist cupcakes.
Thanks so much Karen!
Great ideas! And it just so happens I am going to a neighbor’s 50th birthday party this afternoon. She is a great person and finds easy but great ideas for serving dishes when she has a party. Hoping the intermittent rain will hold off till she gets to blow out her candles! Jenna, hope this finds you enjoying a sunny day. Have a great week ahead. Shelia
Thanks Shelia, I hope the party went well~ let me know if she had any unique party serving ideas!
Wonderful ideas!
Thanks Dorothy~
You always have great ideas and creativity! I love each one, Jenna! Wishing you a wonderful week!
Thanks so much Pam!
I love everything Jenna but the pineapple holding the dip really caught my eye. I am already planning green Bibb lettuce loaded with tempura shrimp and pot stickers and….well you get the picture. Thanks for all the cute ideas. Hugs and stay cool. 🙏🏻❤️🌸
Tempura shrimp and pot stickers, yum! The pineapple bowl would be perfect 🙂
Jenna, you have shared so many wonderful ideas for entertaining. I love the breakfast on a stick. I always feel like a short order cook during breakfast when every one is home on the weekends. Everyone wakes up at different times, and this would be perfect to serve. Thanks for sharing! You are a lifesaver! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Thank you Shannon! Not only will Breakfast on a stick save you from cooking and dishes, everyone will love it and think it is a special treat!
What creative, fun ideas Jenna!
Thanks Linda!

Always an inspiration you are! Thank you, my friend!
